Title: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: Tommie on March 11, 2007, 07:51:02 PM i have a question about the Hall of Fame. Now I'm not sure if this is in the right section or not, so sorry in advance Jarmo. Lets say that when the time comes for GnR to get into the HOF, which version of the band will get in? What if the new band is together longer than the original line? Which version will go in?

Really, though, GNR is GNR, no matter who is in it. yea i swear i posted in a thread about this yesterday. i agree, GNR is going to be inducted and it will be whoever is in the band. No doubt the original members who recorded on AFD will be inducted too. Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: patcooper on March 11, 2007, 08:03:01 PM i'd be more interested to see which members actually show up. We knoq Steven will be there, but maybe thats it. I doubt slash duff and axl would be onstage together. But it would be cool to see them all new and old jam together. But i really dont see that happening any time soon.
Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: D on March 11, 2007, 08:16:30 PM It goes by who contributed most to the group for instance with Van Halen, Both Roth and hagar go in but not Cherone.
Right now as it stands at the moment it would be the original band plus Matt Sorum. Depending on the success of CD and future albums, the new members could make it but the old members so far have made GNR what they are as a band. Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: Naupis on March 11, 2007, 08:42:53 PM Quote It goes by who contributed most to the group for instance with Van Halen, Both Roth and hagar go in but not Cherone. That is the best comparisson out there. Like the new band members, Cherone will have only played for one GNR album and short of having that album surpass AFD in terms of cultural impact, they will also be viewed by the induction committee the same way Cherone was when it came time to debate their canidacy. Even though it seems like it has been a life time, all the new members have really done thus far to build GNR's legacy is play good live versions of the band's tunes. Which is why the selection committee has resorting to evaluating member contributions rather than just blanket inducting bands and all members who ever played with them. GNR is not the first band to go through this, and won't be the last. Thankfully though safegaurds are in place to make sure that only those responsible for making a band Hall worthy are recognized. Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: DunkinDave on March 11, 2007, 09:09:43 PM Like already stated, the current members, sans Axl and Dizzy, haven't done anything to justify induction.
If Chinese Democracy is a smash hit, then maybe they'll get in. But I really, really doubt it. Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: Jackamo! on March 11, 2007, 09:11:19 PM If Dizzy gets in- Pitman gets in.

At this moment is Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff and one drummer. I'm torn between stevie and matt.Depends how you view their contribution to the band. Who contributed more steven or matt ? Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: darkmonth on March 11, 2007, 09:24:08 PM I think the original lineup would be asked to step up by the organisers. They wrote and recorded Appetite. And Appetite is easily the most important album they've made, or ever will make.
Chinese will be great I have no doubt, but it wont come close to the importance of Appetite, regardless of the struggles Axl has been through to get here. Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: flicknn on March 11, 2007, 09:32:23 PM After this years debacle I am not sure there will even be a HOf, its all commercial shit anyways
Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: Crowebar on March 11, 2007, 09:52:11 PM We know Steven will be there, but maybe thats it. Not to be an asshole man but, I can't really see Steve being alive by then at the rate he's going. :no: :'( Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: Saul on March 11, 2007, 10:02:23 PM I think Axl Rose has final say of all the who , what , when , where and why once that time comes. I know that EVH is/was calling all the shots about VH's induction ceremony. It's really in the end who still "controls" or "owns" the band.
Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: GnR-NOW on March 11, 2007, 10:24:11 PM The original band should get in. Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff, and Steven. They created AFD, which put GNR on top. So they should get inducted. I love the current band, I'd prefer to see them play, I saw them 3 times in 2006, but let's give credit where credit is due.

And Eddie Van Halen didn't have a say in shit. Both Roth and Hagar are planning to be there, as well as Michael Anthony. If Eddie had any say he totally would have blocked Hagar and Anthony from being there. As of right now, you'd never see the new band inducted. It would beg the question though....20 years from if CD is huge and the new band goes on to make more albums....could we possibly end up with GnR inducted twice? Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: Axlfreek on March 11, 2007, 10:36:32 PM i think its going to be a really long time before we gnr get inducted into the hall of fame. i think there will be a reunion before we that hapeening.
Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: russtcb on March 11, 2007, 10:38:35 PM "ooooooo wow! sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse..."
Anyways, Guns N' Roses and everyone whose been a member through the years should be inducted in the Hall Of Fame. After all if we went by "length of time in band" there'd be alot of people missing...

They're eligible in 2011 or 2012 - so assuming they make it in their first year on the ballot, that's only five years away. Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF?

It'd be cool if GnR were inducted the same night as Zaum. I'm sure Axl would invite Pitman on stage to jam, even if it was the old band playing. Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF?

You don't have to be a fan of the individual members to be a fan of GNR. Just look at the people who trashed Buckethead, or Brain for that matter. And he may still be a member.

Regardless of when Patty Smith released what; GNR will be inducted in 2012 because they had and continue to have a bigger cultural impact than Patty Smith. So did REM, so did Van Halen, that's why they're all being inducted closer to their elegibility date then she is. Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: wight gunner on March 12, 2007, 10:56:57 AM Saw this the other night on TV, http://www.stereogum.com/archives/002397.html thought this is going to be Guns n' Roses but a bigger news story. Need not say anything more, but can't see Slash or Duff doin' a Frank Infante, but I think Steven would as would Matt.
Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: stvyrayvhn on March 12, 2007, 11:02:39 AM Until the current line up does anything, AFD will be the only members.
Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: DazRose85 on March 12, 2007, 11:04:41 AM It depends how big Chinese Democracy will be, and given how popular members become. If in 5 years things remain as they are now, then the members inducted would be:
W. Axl Rose Slash Duff Izzy Stradlin Steven Adler Matt Sorum Dizzy Reed These are the band members who are noted for being at the "height" of the band. Gilby Clarke would probably not be included as he made little recorded contribution. Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: 1987 on March 12, 2007, 11:24:10 AM i think the new band is great.. but at this point no one can argue that they deserve to be in the HOF. The rocket queen girl is more deserving at this point.. atleast she has contributed "voclas" to an album that has been released. clearly the orginal band and maybe matt and dizzy deserve the honor.

Meaning releasing new music not touring. Which is possible but hasn't looked good.
Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: 25 on March 12, 2007, 06:22:30 PM I'm sure there are many legal permissions needed to use a band's name and likenesses for any purpose, so if GNR were inducted into the "Hall of Fame" as a group any time soon (not very likely) the organizers would be at the mercy of whoever owns the rights to the name, ie Axl.
I think you'll see Slash inducted on his own long before any incarnation of GNR. Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF?

Post by: 25 on March 12, 2007, 06:44:09 PM It seems to me that, since inductees are "celebrated" by a permanent exhibit in the museum which includes a "jukebox" of their recorded material and a pseudo-documentary about their careers, and since the museum is a commercial enterprise subject to all applicable copyright laws, the HOF requires the co-operation of the rights owners to use any and all materials they choose to exhibit. Therefore, they're only going to induct acts whose rights are owned by people who are willing to play ball.

Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: D on March 13, 2007, 12:15:59 AM The Hall of Fame inducts WHO THEY WANT not who the performer wants.
Axl Slash Duff Izzy Steven Maybe Matt and Dizzy Guys like Gilby wont get in cause they were touring musicians and didnt contribute to what made GNR HOF worthy. New Members have a shot if a few records come out and they become Huge. If CD isnt massive, it would be just the original band. Axl doesnt have to appear with the old band but they'd still be the version that would get in. A Band is eligible 25 years after their first album is released. So GNR will be up 2012 Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: Dr. Blutarsky on March 13, 2007, 01:00:56 AM The Hall of Fame inducts WHO THEY WANT not who the performer wants.

And the HOF would have a fun time trying to put their exhibit together if any of those band members who still have a say in the use of their music refused to sign off on it. Don't Axl, Slash and Duff all still have a measure of control over that? If so, it would only take one of them saying no to put an end to the idea of GNR being inducted.

Take it easy man. Feel free to take your posts about her and how great she is to a board to discuss her with her fans. This isn't the place. The inductions into the HOF aren't automatic, there are other factors. Maybe GNR will be inducted in 2012, but it's not certain; it might be some years later (or it might also not happen at all). That's all. No one on here said at any time that the inductions are automatic. I'm pretty sure thats common knowledge anyways. The question has to do with which members would be inducted when GNR get inducted not if they'll be inducted at all. It's pretty obvious that they will be inducted for a fact.

I can't imagine how you would think otherwise, but again that's not at all what the thead is about. Do you actually have an opinion as to who should be inducted? Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: alternativemonkey on March 13, 2007, 10:11:08 AM Both "versions", probably. Really, though, GNR is GNR, no matter who is in it. That is completely ignorant. Only the "Appetitie for Destruction" version should be inducted, with some consideration for Matt Sorum and Dizzy Reed. But, AFD is the ground-breaking album that should get them in, not UYI. To say, that the new members should be inducted is so ridiculous I can't even take it. THEY HAVEN'T EVEN RELEASED AN ALBUM! And, that's how it works. Sammy Hagar technically doesn't qualify because he has been in the band only 22 years (you need 25 years from your first release). The HOF made an exception. Gary Cherone was in VH, but only for a Gold album. The HOF balked on him. Title: Re: Which version would go into the HOF? Post by: supaplex on March 13, 2007, 10:25:33 AM if chinese democracy is followed by one-two albums and they are successful then, just then, the current line-up will be inducted. if not, then the afd line-up with matt and dizzy should get inducted.
as 25 said, the inductees are celebrated by having a jukebox with their releases so it would be weird at least to induct the current line-up if they don't have an official recording with the band. |
